Patient Experiences

I have been coming here 100 days! I get my teeth cleaned and had a cavity fixed and it didn’t hurt. – Billy

We have been coming here about five or six years and they are great. They can help him sit still for his cleanings and that is a big deal. Billy loves the dentist! Dr. Hill is wonderful with him. – Billy’s Mom.

I have known Dr. Forte for over 25 years – he is a good friend of my brother. I was a little bit apprehensive about seeing a family friend but he is always very professional and puts me at ease. In fact the whole staff is super friendly and accommodating. They are great. Dr. Forte fixed a chipped tooth, replaced my old fillings and, most recently, put a cap on an old, broken filling. Now my smile feels and looks great!

When Dr. Raskas took over the practice, he found a very bad mistake in my mouth from a previous dentist and he immediately fixed it, free of charge. He is very conscientious and gentle – he understands a patient’s fear of needles, so when he gives a Novocaine shot, one hardly knows he is doing it. He has done so much for my teeth including giving me a beautiful smile with six new front teeth/ I trust him completely. Through the years coming here we have actually looked forward to going to the dentist as much as a visit with friends. We have rejoiced in the births of each other’s children and grandchildren and consoled each other over deaths and disappointments. We have recommended Dr. Raskas to many of our friends – some of them even come to see him from as far away as California!

I love Dr. Hill – I am one of his first patients. I needed quite a bit of work done – I had all of my front teeth crowned, as well as having crowns and fillings placed in the back. Nothing was painful and everything was very carefully explained to me so I knew exactly what was happening before we even started. Everyone here is fantastic. Now I absolutely love my teeth!

I first came to Lakeview Dental Care when I broke a tooth. Dr. Seitomer recommended that I have a crown to fix it. The procedure was absolutely pain free and I couldn’t be happier with the results – or with the team. They make getting great dental care very easy.

I fell and really hurt my smile – one tooth broke in half, one chipped, and four of them cracked. It made me feel just terrible. Thank goodness for Lakeview Dental Care. They have reassured me throughout this whole process telling me that everything will be fine and that, in the end, my smile will look better than ever. At first they just bonded the front teeth. Later I came back for a root canal and had temporaries placed. My smile will be completed with porcelain veneers.

I would recommend Lakeview Dental Care to anyone. I have always hated going to the dentist and now, going through this, I have never felt more comfortable. I actually don’t dread going to the dentist!

I had a very bad experience five years ago and it took an abscessed tooth to get me back in a dental office. Lakeview Dental Care made me extremely comfortable starting with the first phone call. They listened to me rant and rave about how terrible dentistry is and then they said that they understood and that they weren’t like that. Once I was in the office, they went out of their way to make me comfortable and put me at ease. Even during a procedure, they realized I was in pain, and stopped to numb me up a little more – all without me having to say anything!

I also had HUGE dental anxiety. I had serious problems since I was four years old so there were many, many years of constant anxiety as part of my growing up. As long as everything was fine, I was ok with going to get cleanings, but when something was wrong, I just felt like I couldn’t handle it! Finally Marc just said, “You’re going!” Everyone at Lakeview Dental Care has really gone out of their way to keep me comfortable. Everything has been just excellent. As experiences go overall, going to the dentist is not high on anyone’s list but these folks are very sensitive about how their patients feel. If you can be open and honest about it, they will address it and take care of it and work to make you feel as good as possible in a situation like this. For me, that is extraordinary because there haven’t been that many people in my lifetime who cared to do that.

My teeth weren’t in great condition – when I came here, the doctor had a lot of work in front of him! They gave me several options so I could make a decision about how I was most comfortable correcting the issues. They explained everything so well so I knew exactly what I needed to do. I was so self-conscious because of the condition of my teeth and now I have so much more confidence because I have a beautiful smile!

I have been seeing Dr. Raskas for many years – I was his second patient. Now my whole family sees him and we just love him. He has been wonderful. He took out all my silver fillings and replaced them with white. Now my smile feels great!

Dr. Raskas’ daughter was a classmate and our parents know each other, so I have a lot of community connection with the practice. Aside from my regular hygiene appointments, I have had deep cleanings and few fillings, and I have been really comfortable and at ease through every visit. This is a very warm environment. They are so caring and I always feel really well taken care of when I come in. I recommend them to everyone!
